CVE-2026-42279 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-42279: solidtime is an open-source time-tracking app. In version 0.12.0, the PUT /api/v1/organizations/{organization}/time-entries/{timeEntry} API accepts a route-bound timeEntry from another organization when the caller has time-entries:update:all in the URL organization, allowing a known foreign time-entry UUID to be modified and rebound to objects in the caller's organization. This issue has been patched in version 0.12.1.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-42279

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-42279 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-42279

The exploitability of CVE-2026-42279 is influenced by multiple factors. Security teams should analyze system configurations and apply appropriate countermeasures to mitigate threats.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-42279, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-42279, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: None
    CVE-2026-42279 has no significant impact on data confidentiality.
  • Integrity: High
    CVE-2026-42279 could allow unauthorized modifications to data, potentially affecting system reliability and trust.
  • Availability: None
    CVE-2026-42279 does not impact system availability.
